ES-T Electronics

The ES-T is a single-source, under-saddle transducer with individual elements for each string. It features an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full ES. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the sound-hole.

The Taylor 214e 2012 Grand Auditorium arrived at my door within 3 days of ordering. I had to admire the beautiful shape and high quality workmanship. The sound of the guitar is amazing! Played it in church the next day, leading our worship band. Plugged into a direct box to the sound board and it was effortless. Great balanced tone and projection. I own a ac/electric Martin, Ovation, & Epiphone Semi hollowbody. As a guitar lover, I'm excited to have added the Taylor to my collection and plan on using it as my primary guitar.

Musical Background:

I've been playing music for over 30 years for enjoyment and as a music teacher and worship leader.
